Riverside Baptist Church

About this church

Riverside Baptist Church in St. Joseph meets Sunday for Bible classes at 9:45 a.m., morning worship at 10:45, and evening worship at 5:30 p.m.; Wednesday worship begins at 7. The church summarizes its work as “Loving People and Preaching Christ” and centers services on Christ-focused preaching, congregational singing, prayer, Scripture, and fellowship. Guests are told there is no dress code, although leaders generally wear traditional or formal clothing, and are encouraged to arrive before the service starts. An online sermon archive and video livestream provide options for hearing recent teaching.

Childcare for children age three and younger is available during all services. The church says nursery workers are established members of the congregation, complete background checks, and use a numbered badge process for pickup. Riverside's published beliefs identify the Bible as its final authority, teach salvation through Jesus, and frame the church's mission around making disciples, building up the congregation, and teaching Christ's commands. The congregation began under the name Bible Baptist Temple, moved to its present Mitchell Avenue property in 2011, and adopted the Riverside name in 2018 while retaining its Baptist convictions. A visitor page explains arrival, worship flow, childcare, and the offering; guests are explicitly told not to feel pressured to give. Public pages do not specify service duration, accessibility, parking layout, programs for older children during worship, Communion frequency, or livestream delay.
